Oh man, please don't ever use Joel Reymont as a language reference - his noisy, uninformed, continuous churn through various programming languages was exhausting back in the day. Just be thankful the hack has gone quiet.

A legendary racket from days past! Leave Cisco with technology and engineers, get generously funded by Cisco, get generously bought out by Cisco, inside Cisco enjoy sandbagged targets and guaranteed payouts, lather, rinse, repeat. Self-dealing masterpieces!

He got 40M from selling Loopt? Didn't Loopt raise 40M? How does Sam have 10M lying around?

Studying sounds like a strong word here. Author's an administrator, not a researcher. And he's likely bought in to the Uber economy; current openings at Oglethorpe are administrative and adjunct:

In the following days, they followed up with an offer that wasn't an offer - they would make an offer only if I said yes, but otherwise they weren't going to make an offer. They had the hiring manager call me a bunch of times. They tried to get me on a sell call with the ceo. They disparaged the other companies I was talking to. Meh. Also, they were title crazy - everyone in management I spoke to was either a director or a vice-president or a chief of something.
